If you remember, Dom and I went to see The Music Man at out local Cumming Playhouse a week or so ago. We enjoyed the show so much, we went back again last night.
Dom had written a letter to the cast, telling them how terrific we thought they all were. He mentioned that we would be coming back on July 31 and would be sitting in the same front row seats.
During the show, there was a scene where Professor Harold Hill was sitting and talking to Mrs. Paroo, telling her that so many of the great musicians were Irish. He started naming them - O'Reilly, O'Rourke, O'Pistilli, O'Bama. Wait - did he really say O'Pistilli? While the audience was laughing at the O'Bama joke, we sat looking at each other, wondering if we were hearing things. Then, at the very end of the show, as the performers left the stage and walked up the center aisle, Marion looked right at Dom and blew him a little kiss.
Obviously the cast read our letter and maybe using our name was their way of saying thank you.
This was such a great group of talented people. We're looking forward to seeing them again in future musicals.

I'm sure they did read his letter and it meant a lot to them. What fun!
That sounds such fun! Nice tribute to you guys. Our daughter was in a high school musical production of THE MUSIC MAN. She was one of the "pickalittle-talkalittle" ladies and also part of the Grecian Urn section. I love THE MUSIC MAN.
Oh my goodness! I love this story. What a special evening they made it for you two!
Oh what fun Lynne! Sounds like a great time had by all!

How fun, Lynne! What a sweet thing for them to do. Of course, it was sweet of Dom to write that letter too, but even nicer that it obviously meant something to the cast. What a nice experience. :)
How fun! I remember you mentioning that on fb I think. It's a good show...our local little theater did this last year & they used a group of bankers from the same bank to do the train scene, it was hilarious.
I LOVE when they throw personal stuff like that into the lines! Even if you and Dom were the only ones who caught it, it was awesome they did that. I could easily watch Music Man twice in a row. When Jeremy was in high school musicals I would go to every performance and never tire of them.
